There are two issues in this post … first, of course, the engineering itself … and this Texas panhandle man’s engineering and presentation is pretty good, despite occasional music drowning it out … he does know his stuff, does do his homework.

I find myself in a bit of a quandary though … the second issue is him, himself, our Grady. What’s wrong with him? Nothing. Nothing’s wrong.

However.

In previewing so many films and episodes and documentary shorts, there are occasionally decisions which must not be named, hush hush. An example was The History Guy with his bowtie (no, not Martin) and the unfortunate voice and accent … point is, no one attacked him, no one suggested anything wrong … seemed a nice guy … worked hard on his presentation. Like Grady in this one.

And yet … and yet … people did not … sigh … warm to him so much. I’m thinking we’re unfair to people. In my own case, the mongrel accent, the “overweening arrogance in manner”, the “going to give this one a pass” … it may even be how the guy looks in my and other cases. I do understand it. Feminazis, for example, can’t stand me, a toxic male. Nor can middle management types on the way up. I’m not worshipful enough.

With Grady, he’s not (cough) a presenter type … actually, he’s an engineer. And for Brits, that panhandle, high voice. Many people I think see this and feel a wave of sympathy for an honest toiler. He’d not be able to get away with the dlightest creepiness and thankfully, that’s not the issue.

DAD mentioned not being crazy for soprano women’s voices … I can half see that … after a few minutes, it can get wearing. In my own case, it’s the flatness in the voice which puts people to sleep … comes through in the prose if I’m not careful.

I’m not totally sure with Grady, it’s not if you like or don’t like … I’m thinking it’s more “can you warm to a series from him”? Jago’s starting to annoy, Ruairidh ditto. Lefty wimmin? Goes without saying. Tulsi? A bit too deeply masculine for mine.

And so on. In the normal run of life, it hardly matters perhaps but in a presentation … ah. Yes.

9. Moo corner

Quick word before starting … it makes more sense to me to run Moo at 9, 14 and 19, with 14 occasionally not used at all, depending on available Moo pics.

8. Steve on Orban and JDV

Liz Churchill: ““AMERICA STANDS WITH US. Thank you for your support, Mr. Vice President JD Vance!” -PM Orban Brussels tried to economically CRUSH Hungary for daring to elect Orban instead of an EU Treasonous Liar…and America just said HELL NO. The EU empire is OVER.”

Mass Rally with Vice President JD Vance 🇭🇺🇺🇸 https://t.co/FThHfQihg1

JH: Naturally, there are terrible things in comments from the left, RINOs, plus those centrist people, apolitical, who put TDS first, political realities a long way back. In the Slavic east, the desired situation is a strong leader such as Bukele in El Salvador who still manages to create a largely peaceful society where once there was chaos.

TRUMP: “I love Hungary, and I love that Viktor Orbán — Remember this, he didn’t allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have.”

JH: Yes, the invaders are certainly the n2 problem today, after the n1 … those who enabled all this.

6. This is just a warning from some people in the US

… it might be different in the UK, might be the same, might even be different for those who already partly use two factor authentification.

In a “what if” situation, given that I shan’t comply any further than what I have already, what then? Well obviously using sources we already have, adjusted. Not sure it’s an immediate issue, yet be aware they do not like sites like this … they’re looking for backdoors. Do not rely in HQ always being here, which is why we have the other sites.

3. What’s Farage playing at?

First, half of Lord Toby today:

Why only half? Because what followed was a party political for Reform, which is seriously compromised after yesterday’s move by Farage to appoint all-invader candidates and then to launch attacks on Restore via Dorries. Rupert responded by thanking them … Dorries being the second best advert for Restore, with Zahawi being the first.
